Professional Wardrobe

This week we had our
first test. I feel like I know the material, but I need to practice in reading
the questions carefully. Lesson learned. We also started talking about
fieldwork. In a couple weeks we will choose where we go for our first level I
fieldwork. They say there are a lot of choices for this fieldwork, so lets hope
I get something I like and that is a new experience.

Also upcoming, is
baby day. Baby day is where different families are recruited to bring in their
babies for us to observe. I just finished making my reflex cheat sheet. However, this is the first time
we will have to dress professionally for class. Professional, meaning something
along the line of khakis and polos. I personally like to have a little spunk in
my clothes. Usually, this is done through jewelry, but jewelry can get in the
way. Polos are suggested because when the therapist bends over no one can see
down their shirt. While, I don't mind polos; they are not my favorite. I went
looking for other professional tops that are not so nice that I would mind them
getting ruined, but nice enough to be considered professional. Under those
requirements I could find quite a few, but if I had to bend over you were going
to see down my shirt. I ended up finding something that could work, but an
occupational therapist's professional wardrobe is harder to build than I
originally thought.
